In 2023, Reuters referred to Al-Khulaifi as "Qatar's chief negotiator in ceasefire talks" during the 2023 Israel-Hamas war. Al-Khulaifi successfully advocated for a ceasefire in Gaza, stating the ceasefire meant "no attack whatsoever. No military movements, no expansion, nothing," and that he hoped the truce "will be a seed to a bigger agreement and a permanent cease of fire...That's our intention." The four-day ceasefire began on 22 November 2023.[4]
